PAN.
1666. (Plate VII.). Paniskos, or young Pan. Youthful
nude figure standing, with, the right foot advanced, and
with the head inclined to his left. He has pointed ears
and short horns ; he holds a jug in the left hand (restored)
and a cup in the right hand (restored). There is a stump
by his right side, which is inscribed in Greek letters with
the signature of the artist, Marcus Cossutius Cerdo,
[Maa]p/<o<; [Kocr]o-oL'[Tt]os KcpScov IttoUl (cf. No. 1667, where
the artist is described as a freedman of Marcus). Prom
the style of the inscription the work is assigned to the
beginning of the Eoman Empire. An inscription, formerly
in the Villa Borghese (Hermes, xxii., p. 156), makes it
not improbable that the artist was a fellow-freedman with
Menelaos, the pupil of Stephanos.
The small horns of this figure show that it represents
the human type of Pan, which forms a strong contrast
to the goat-legged type of the same deity, of which
examples are described below. It is convenient to dis-
tinguish these types as Pan and Aegipan.—Towneley Coll.
Pentelic marble. Height (without plinth), 3 feet 7 inches. Restored :
arms, legs from knees downwards, base, and lower part of
support. The statue was found, with the companion figure
(No. 1667), by Gavin Hamilton, probably in 1773, at Monte
Cagnolo, in the ruins of the villa of Antoninus Pius, near Civita
Lavinia {Lansdowne Catalogue, p. 70 ; Journ. of Hellen. Studies,
XXL, p. 313); Mus. Marbles, II., pi. 33; Mansell, No. 820;
